Sunday, October 27, 2002 Thanks for playing, try again....Yesterday would have been the most perfect day if only the Wolverines wouldn't have played like crap. Iowa certainly deserved to win, as much as I hate to say it. But I drove Blancho's Rendezvous (now fondly called, "The Vous" in honor of a strip club. It's a grocery getter by day, shaggin' wagon by night). Suzy and Parini met me here, and we picked up Sarah and my sister Amy en route to Ann Arbor. We had prepared for a pretty kickass tailgate. Complete with mini-grill, marinated chicken, tortellini salad, taco dip, spinach dip, cupcakes, and the all important, Bloody Marys, hot cider with spiced rum, and good ol' Labatt's. It's been a long time since I started drinking by 9 o'clock or so. But we parked the party wagon on the golf course directly across the street from the stadium. Where we had quite a few dropper bys. It was lots of fun. I've never actually tailgated at the golf course before. When you go to school there, you just wake up and go to the game. And I was amazed at how hard core the tailgaters are. The people across from us actually had centerpieces for their table of food. Now that's impressive. The game was still fun, aside from the fact that it started drizzling at the start of the second half. The people behind us were kind of scary. They had these fur stoles that were just dead animal carcasses. In Sarah's words, it gave her the "heeby geebies". So if they only would have won, the day would have been perfect.
The Halloween party on Friday was pretty fun too. Everyone was pretty decked out. Including the decorating they did for their house. They definitely got their money's worth out of the smoke machine they had. The whole house was cloudy. But my two favorite costumes of the night were this guy who was dressed up as Anna Nicole Smith and another guy who was dressed up as the invisible man. Such a great costume, all for the cost of an ace bandage, gloves and sunglasses. Maybe one day if I can figure out how to post my own picture on here, you can see me in my geisha costume. My mom really liked it, but said that the blue eyes just gave me away. And I forgot my fan at home. Dammit.
Today I'm heading off to the cider mill/pumpkin patch with my family. I'm going to a pumpkin carving contest tonight. I'm pretty much expecting to get my ass kicked. I'm sure everyone will be working on their recreation of Van Gogh's "A Starry Night" and I'll be hacking away on my triangle eyes. I'll be sure to let you know how it goes. I hope that everyone had a great weekend. I hope you enjoyed having an extra hour of sleep as much as I did. Cya later.
